Hi everyone,
I've recently upgraded from a GTX 970 to a RTX2080 in my system with a 4790k. I'm having an issue with low GPU usage in games. Most of the time, the GPU is used at 60%, it even falls to 30/40%. At first glance, I thought this issue is caused by my CPU (GPU bottlenecked) but that does not seem to be the case. To be honest, my new graphic card gives me less performance than my old GTX970 in 1080p on the same games, it's absurd. I would like to run at 1440p/144hz so it is my goal to have the GPU running at 99% the whole time so that I can achieve the highest FPS possible.
My configuration :
- Windows 10 Professionnel (X64) 1803
- CPU : Intel Core i7 4790K 4 GHz
- MB : Asus Z97-A
- GPU : MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio
- RAM : 16 Go DDR3 799.57 MHz
- SSD : Crucial MX100 256 Go SATA III
- Monitor : AOC G2460PG GSYNC 144Hz 1080p 24'
- PSU : Corsair CX750 80PLUS Bronze
I have tried :
- Complete reinstallation of the Nvidia graphics driver (uninstallation with DDU).
- Switching energy management to "Maximum performance" mode in Nvidia panel.
- Enable & disable GSYNC/VSYNC in Nvidia panel and in game (I tried all possible combinations).
- Test with DX11 / DX12 / Vulkan, same problem whatever the API.
- I increased the Powerlimit via MSI Afterburner
- No tool, that could limit the number of fps, found on my computer
- GPUZ PerfCap reason : IDLE
- Complete reinstallation of Windows 10
I am able to achieve 99% GPU usage while running the Unigine Heaven / Superposition and 3D Mark TIME SPY benchmarks.

I uploaded 2 gameplays on Youtube, if it can help.
GTX 970 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zhaD5FgLbA (recorded on october 16 with my previous card)RTX 2080 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN8PneteN5A (recorded on october 20 with my new card)
The settings and the resolution are the same in both.
We can see very clearly that the game runs in the same way, except that in one side we have a card at 99% of its capacity and on the other we have a card that run all the way at 50%... it is crazy. And this issue is reproducible with most of my recent games (AC Origins, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, DOOM).
Any ideas ?
I just spent 900$ on this new graphics card and I'm very frustrated with the performance so far. Your assistance is greatly appreciated !
Best Regards.
